Stupid question

[taimatsu]

Is this BBC page a sensible basis on which to decide one's voting intention for May 5? If not, what other non-jargon-filled, predominantly-unbiased, easy-to-compare information would you have me read?

As always, I would recommend the Financial Times (http://www.clic2mail.com/FT/election_holder.cfm)' political coverage.

The bias is money and a pro-business stance; beyond that, the paper is determinedly apolitical and all parties get a measure of criticism. Praise, too, and a recognition of good intentions; this is sadly lacking in all other papers' shrill and opinionated polemic 'news'.

It's a bit odd, but not wrong as such. I'm not sure what the mindset is, no mention of minimum wage policies, and a cash amount of extra spending by Labour on defence, but no mention I can see of same on health and education (which policies do in fact exist).

I think Channel 4 have a similar site. ;)

Manifestoes. :-(

You've found an unbiased manifesto? Where?!

Joe honey, I want things bite-size. And next to each other in tidy columns. All on one page. Because I, like, totally can't cope otherwise. *grin*
